On the Eve: The 151st Open returns to Liverpool in 2023

The Open 2025

The excitement is building as golfers and fans alike gear up for the upcoming Open Championship at Royal Liverpool, set to take place from July 14-17, 2023. This will mark the 13th time that the historic course, also known as Hoylake, has hosted the tournament, cementing its place as a beloved venue for golf’s most prestigious event.

Royal Liverpool is known for its challenging links course, which demands both precision and power from golfers. The course was first established in 1869, and its design has undergone several changes over the years to keep up with the ever-evolving sport of golf. Despite these updates, however, Hoylake remains a testament to the traditional style of the game, offering a unique challenge to players who must contend with unpredictable weather conditions and tricky sand dunes.

The Open Championship, which is often referred to simply as The Open, is the oldest of golf’s four major tournaments and is considered one of the most prestigious events in the sport. It attracts the best golfers from around the world, who compete for the coveted Claret Jug trophy and a chance to add their name to the storied list of past champions.
